[QUOTE="Ripper, post: 150268"] Yeah mate, and that's what they said in 03...and in Melbourne this year.... [/b][/quote] Melbounre was a fluke, and a set of circumstances that won't be repeated. We major injury problems in the locking department, and Troy Flavell who started that test had lost 3.5kg in 60 minutes six days earlier and even worse in the centre department (We had 4 players who were at penciled in to start at 13 that week - Smith - Crocked Himself, Toeava - Crocked Himself, Mils - Pandadol crocked himself so had to be shifted to Fullback and McAlister). Than there was probably the worst All Black performance under Henry's era, Haymans sinbinning and Mauger deciding that now would be as good a time as any to help get himself dropped by imploding... even than the Aussies won by only 5 points at the MCG. I'm not saying that the Aussies stand 0% chance, but pointing to a game 4 years ago which was a radically different team and a test match with circumstances which won't be repeated barring a disaster in the next 6 days in terms of injuries is not the right place to draw inspiration from.
